What's coming in 2018...by Kristin Wallace

It’s a New Year
and a time for making resolutions and plans for 2018. My first big plan is
pretty ambitious…the launch of a brand new series this spring called The Heiress Games. The idea started as
one book a few years ago (for a different series), but quickly morphed into
three books.

Here’s what The Heiress Games is about….

A pig named Matilda. A $100 million
dollar fortune. 3 women out to win custody of the pig…and the fortune.

Heiress Victoria Armington
loved two things in life. Her pet pig Matilda and her hometown of Palm Cove,
Florida. So when she dies (having never married or had children) she leaves her
considerable fortune to Matilda and sets up a competition among the last three
remaining Armington descendants. The prize? Custody of the pampered pig and
control of the money. Enter the women competing for a fortune: a struggling
single mother and lifetime outcast of Palm Cove, a woman desperate to save her
sister, and a down on her luck singer with a mountain of medical bills. Plus,
meet the three best friends who are supposed to be overseeing the Heiress
Games: the lawyer who needs this case in order to make partner, the ex-football
player who’s trying to re-reconnect with his troubled son, and the
Grammy-winning singer who’s lost the music after a tragic accident. In the end,
these three couples will end up competing for a far bigger of prize…a love that
lasts forever.

What makes this series so
unique – and also challenging to write – is that all three books take place
concurrently and each tells the story from different couples’ perspectives.
There are many scenes that appear in all three books, but you’ll see them from
someone else’s POV. This is a crazy, funny, touching series of a group of
loosely strangers who somehow become a family.

Oh…and then there is the pig
at the center of The Heiress Games.
Matilda is a character in her own right. She lives in pink castle, wears
diamond collars, tutus and sequined scarves, and makes everyone fall in love
with her. Matilda is so cool, in fact, that she now has her own Facebook and
Twitter accounts.
